Neat spot! Welcome to Project Noah! Though I don't know the species in your area, I would say that this is a species of fly from Family Syrphidae. If you have any other views of this little fly (like of the back) it would be helpful for identification purposes. A lot of the species look similar and have only minor differences in pattern or color.
